Isn't it intersesting that vaccinating chickens against the H5N1 strain can worsen the spread of the disease? Flu shots being squirreled away in your state to "protect" your health expose you to potent neurotoxins like aluminum and mercury along with other goodies that weaken your immune system, making you far more susceptible to the flu. Safe, natural treatments are always your best defense against the flu. I have been putting in 110-hour weeks for the last two months to complete my latest book, the Great Bird Flu Hoax, which will contain much more information about the bird flu and your health. It won't be released for a few weeks yet, but you can go to its web site and get plenty of free amazing bonuses for pre-purchasing it today. Some of the highlights of the book include: The multi-national drug companies and food corporations who are pouring billions into manipulating your perception of health and now the daily news in order to earn ever-greater profits ... and how they are doing it, and the health threats (and ethics breaches) they are REALLY responsible for The scientists being bought by drug companies and other big business to report whatever "research findings" they have been purchased to report A government that is more than just complicit ... working with the drug companies and other stalwarts of the conventional healthcare paradigm, they are directly responsible for raising false alarms in order to draw your attention AWAY from the real public health and safety issues they are PERPETUATING. Until then, if you want to prevent the flu without getting a vaccine, you can review my guidelines to help you prevent and fight the flu safely and naturally: Avoid Sugar. Sugar decreases the function of your immune system almost immediately, and as you likely know, a strong immune system is key to fighting off viruses and other illness. Be aware that sugar is present in foods you may not suspect, like ketchup and fruit juice. Get Enough Rest. Just like it becomes harder for you to get your daily tasks done if you're tired, if your body is overly fatigued it will be harder for it to fight the flu. Be sure to check out my article Guide to a Good Night's Sleep for some great tips to help you get quality rest. Don't Let Stress Become Overwhelming. We all face some stress everyday, but if stress becomes overwhelming then your body will be less able to fight off the flu and other illness. If you feel that stress is taking a toll on your health, consider using an energy psychology tool such as the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), which is remarkably effective in relieving stress associated with all kinds of events, from work to family to trauma. You can check out my free, 25-page EFT manual for some guidelines on how to perform EFT. Exercise. When you exercise, you increase your circulation and your blood flow throughout your body. The components of your immune system are also better circulated, which means your immune system has a better chance of finding an illness before it spreads. You can review my exercise guidelines for some great tips on how to get started. Take a good source of omega-3 fats like Krill Oil. Increase your intake of healthy and essential fats like the omega-3 found in krill oil, which is crucial for maintaining health. Wash Your Hands. Washing your hands will decrease your likelihood of spreading a virus to your nose, mouth or other people. Be sure you don't use antibacterial soap for this -- antibacterial soaps are completely unnecessary, and they cause far more harm than good. Instead, identify a simple chemical-free soap that you can switch your family to.
